NON-REFILLABLE AND LOCK-SEAL BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 698,716, dated April 29, 1902.

Application filed March 2, 1901. SerialNo. 49,511. (No model.) i

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WLADYsLAW Tnno DORE KOSINSKI,a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn borough, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have inven ted certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable and Lock-Seal Bottles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to non-refillable and lock-seal bottles; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed, in which no metal springs or ground-in valves are used.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view of the whole deviceviz., the bulge or chamber in the neck of the bottle, the pyramidical valvecage with all its parts, and the tubular throatpieces with its diaphragm, the liquor and air orifices or passages,the shoulder-flange rings, the serrated lock-sealing ring disk, the diametrically-enlarged groove and open encircling space between the bottle-neck and tubular throat-piece, the bisected or split collarcap,partly in sectional view,with the tag or tablet attached thereto,and reinforced top flange. Fig. 2 represents a vertical sectional detail view of the separate'pyramidical valve-cage, showing the float-valve having the depending ing tapered guide-stem and disk head,the ballweight resting over the annular diametricallyreduced valve-tube and the external restingfiange. Fig. 3 is a modification of Fig. 2.

Instead of a ball-weight a truncated pyramid can be used. Fig. 4 represents a plan view of the serrated lock-sealing ring disk. Fig. 5 represents a perspective of the bisected flange collar-cap having the vertical longitudinal bead-openings, coupling-pins, tag, and annular depressed shoulder-flange. Fig. 6 represents a cross-sectional view of Fig. 5, showing the flange-beads,the bead-openings, and bisected or open split with its couplingpins.

Referring by letters and numerals to the accompanying drawings, X represents the neck of the bottle, having in its inside the bulge or chamber X, the diametrically-enlarged annular groove 17, and the vertical longitudinal flange-bead 12 below the rim of the mouth of the bottle-neck X.

Into the aperture of the bottle proper, below the base of the bulge or chamber X, is inserted a valve-cage 1, which is hollow and of pyramidioal shape in its inside and is provided with an external resting-flange 2 and packing 2. Above the said resting-flange 2 the surrounding wall of said pyramidical valve-cage 1 is provided with radial oblong liquor and air orifices or passages 4, and from its lower end or bottom is inserted the annular valve-tube 3, held within by a packing. Above said annular valve-tube 3 is housed the float-valve 5, made of cork and wood or other light material suitable for the purpose, having 2. depending tapered guiding-stem 6, and a disk head 7. Immediately above and loosely resting upon said disk head 7 is a Weighted ball 8, which serves to close said float-valve 5 when the bottle is in a vertical upright'or horizontal position and prevents any liquid from passing the valve 5 and entering the body of the bottle.

Immediately above the separate pyramidicalvalve-cage 1 is placed the separated tubular throat-piece 9 of a reduced size in its diameter and is provided in its bottom part with a closed diaphragm 19 and horizontal radial oblong liquor and air orifices or passages 21, thereby preventing tampering with the separate pyramidical valve-cage 1, with its housed-in mechanical parts, having the two surrounding shoulder-flange rings 11 and 11 and the reinforcing-flange 18 at its top.

Above the upper annular shoulder-flange ring 11 is placed the flexible or elastic locksealing ring disk 14, serrated on its periphery, encircling the tubular throat piece 9 and housed within the diametricallyenlarged groove 17 when slid in andheld in place by shoulder-flange 20, thereby reducing its diameter and reexpanding as soon as entered within the annular enlarged groove 17.

To prevent the turning arou nd of the bisected or split collar-cap 15, located in the mouth of the bottle-neck X, and the turning around of the tubular throat-piece 9, located inside the bisected or split collar-cap 15, when using a corkscrew, it is provided with the two short vertical longitudinal flange-beads 12 and 13 12 on the inside of the bottle-neck X, 13 on the periphery of the tubular throat-piece 9 to be housed and held in the corresponding vertical longitudinal bead-openings l2 and 13 of the bisected or split collar-cap 15.

The bisectedor split collar-cap is provided with two coupling-pins 23 in the flange .16 in the face of the split in order to hold the two halves uniformly together when placed around and immediately beneath the reinforced flange 18. To the said bisected collarcap 15 is attached a tag or tablet 2-1 instead of a bottle-label for printed or embossed publication matter by means of a wire or cord loop 25, of whichthe knotted ends, being held by either of the coupling-pins 23 and housed and concealed within the bisected or split collar-cap 1 5, is effectually secured from displacement or removal. The bisected or split collar-cap 15, having the depressed or shouldered flange 20, pressing and holding the locksealing ring disk 14 against shoulder-flange ring 11 While sliding in, reducing its diameter and becoming housed, rexpands in the diametrically-enlarged annular groove 17.

The reinforced top flange 18 being of a larger diameter than the annular opening in the bisected collar-cap surrounding the tubular throat-piece 9 protects and prevents tampering with it.

The withdrawal of the tubular throat-piece 9, with the encircling flexible or elastic locksealing. ring disk 14, is prevented by the shoulder-flange ring 11, surrounding the tubular throat-piece 9, having the look-sealing ring disk latimmediately resting on it or abutting against it and being of a larger diameter, thereby preventing the bending back and withdrawing of the tubular throat-piece 9.

The glass or rubber ball-weight 8 is made hollow and is only partly filled with mercury to render it quite heavy in order that it may hold the float-valve 5 in a closed position. Being only partially filled, it will seek its own level, and thereby assist in rolling down the pyramidicalincline against the disk head 7 of the float-valve 5. Thereby it is impossible to refill the bottle without removing the locksealing device within the bottle-neck.

Instead of the hollow partlyfilled ballweight 8 a solid ball made of glass, agate, or porcelain can be used.

Should an attempt be made to refill the bottle through the tubular throat-piece 9 by means of vacuum or a'siphon when in an inverted position, the liquid will pass through the orifices 21 into the bulge or chamber X and entering the separate pyramidical valvecage 1 will lift and float by force the floatvalve 5, stopping the passage thereby and effectually prevent the refilling of the bottle.

Between the annular shoulder-flange rings 11 and 11 the encircling open space 22 is formed within the bottle-neck X and the tubular throat-piece 9, into which circular open space so formed is placed any suitable or desired advertising matter or trade-mark 24, which may be read through the glass neck of the bottle and cannot become wet nor discolored by contact with the contents of the bottle while being poured therefrom by means of the annular packing 10,.preventing theingress of liquids into the openspace 22.

The withdrawal or tampering of the advertising matter or trade-mark located in the annular open space 22 and the tag or tablet 24, attached to the bisected collar-cap 15, is also protected by the lock-sealing device, as shown in figures.

To fill the bottle, pour in the liquid, then place the pyramidical valve-cage 1, with all its parts contained, over it, the tubular throat-piece 9, with its annular packing 10, the advertising matter ortrade-mark surrounding the tubular throat-piece 9, with all its lock-sealing parts, as described.

The tubular throat-piece 9, centrally located in the neck of the bottle X, projects above the bisected collar-cap 15, placed over the mouth of the bottle-neck, and is normally closed at its upper end by a cork or stopper,

which may be withdrawn in the usual manner to permit of pouring the contents from the bottle without disturbing or removing or displacing any part of the non-refillable and lock-sealing device.

Havingthus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut, is
